Thanks

Re: Problem with model string for RP3440
in answer to the question, no it shouldnt have really as it was a used system. It sounds like the system has had a system board change, and thus never set.
or was a remarketed fru system.
I have heard of this before though when a system was originally set up to use PA8900 proc and then PA8800 ones were tried to be used for testing. This rp34xx also gave the mismatch proc error. Its as though it doesnt expect you to downgrade the system with processors, and your problem may not have anything to do with you setting the model string and serial number.
once it has been set you need HP to change it.
What did you enter for the product number and s/n? the correct ones or just blank?
you can change the original and current product numbers in the service menu of BCH at PDC.
see this link,
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/A7137-96008/ch06s19.html#babhaagd
its about changing the system board but gives you the correct steps for setting the right bits needed.

Re: Problem with model string for RP3440
If the values are still blank, go to the service menu in BCH and run "init". This will allow you to set the values (read them from the sticker). If the values are already set, you need to ask hp support for help.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Problem with model string for RP3440
My question is what model do I pick from the sysmo model list? Do i pick #1 or do I pick #5 because I only have one processor. In my mind I would pick #1 because I would be able to add another processor later vs choice #5.
Yhe board in the system is part number A7137-80001, and has 2 processor sockets. Only one socket is populated.
The processor is a PA8800 dual core 1GHZ.
The part number for the processor is AB354A/AB354-62001

Re: Problem with model string for RP3440
I would only select the choice in "sysmo" for what you actaully have installed. I wouldn't "activate" the second socket if you don't have a core to put in it.
The machine may be "unhappy" if it can't find a second core physically installed in the socket.
(the output from "sysmo" can change depending on what version of firmware is on the machine - so i wouldn't like to speculate as to which option to choose from the menu - you will have the make the choice based on the fact you have an RP3440, 1x PA8800 Dual Core 1Ghz)

Phil
